Terms and Conditions

Once the site is built:

We will take time to guide you through the maintenance of your site, meaning you can add content as and when necessary (if necessary). Depending on your package, you will have a period where we can add whatever detail you require.

If you are struggling after this period, we can continue to make any amendments or updates for a small hourly fee**.

**It is worth pointing out that the upkeep and addition of material to your site is pretty straightforward once you are up and running, so we do not expect you to have ANY difficulties.

At the end of the hosting, you simply pay to renew your license. There is no extra design work required unless you specifically decide to amend the look of your site, this will cost extra.

Extra services:

As well as the above, if you require any additional help in creating your own app, extra artwork, social networking accounts or anything you have seen elsewhere we will be glad to do it for you for a small hourly fee.

Emails:

You must follow the instructions to set up your mails. If your mails do not work on your own device, then use the webmail to check the server/emails on-line to see they are functioning. If that works, then you have configured your machine incorrectly and will have to speak to someone to set it up for you, or pay for WardsWebsites to provide tech assist. This is not part of the service we provide in building your site.

Back ups and Updates

The internet moves along at a rapid pace and upgrades for plug ins and themes are always being released. If you have full access to the back end of your site, then it is not recommended you update anything related to the site unless you are 100% sure it will not affect the performance and look. WardsWebsites cannot be held responsible for any changes made by you that create issues. If something within your site suddenly changes without you doing anything, then we are required to fix it, of course.

Backups of your site are provided as part of the service.
